I think its quite funny how Layton's support has built all from a blip on a Quebec poll. Said poll showed high support for Layton in Quebec, which built hype. Said hype got higher polling numbers, which created more hype, which built higher polling numbers.
Its not like he or the NDP has come up with genius plans or amazing policies that'll change the world in the last 2 weeks; its just been a media-perpetuated hype.
Reminds me of Nenshi's win (whom I voted for); one poll showed him gaining traction, and that media hype grew his "support", which in turn increased poll numbers, which created more hype, and pretty soon the whole city was in Nenshi-mania.
